Add in your signature link to three.sentenc.es, so that people are not outraged, you are short and wait for the same from them.

An example of such signatures:

Question: Why is the letter of 3 suggestions?
Answer: http://three.sentenc.es

Write to the end of the letter Sent from my iPhone - even if it's not true, but you type on your mobile and you will be forgiven brevity. And be sure to make a mistake in at least one word, as it goes out for all the users screen keyboards: D

Example:

I am in favor, make Menchu ​​in the list.
Sent from my iPhone

Create a VIP list and make it red. There must be the boss, Infestor, real friends. Kevin looks this list the very first morning.

#2

for Gmail only. If you give your primary e-mail is not trusted sites, startups, etc., is added to the + junk address.

Example: registering on the site do not write [email protected], and [email protected]. Letter anyway fall in your mailbox, but will be sent through the filter you created in a folder without going through Inbox. Look then.

#1

Create a filter for the emails that were not read, for example, 14 days, which will send avtoreplay. It only works for desktop mail client like Apple Mail.

In an automatic response to a stale letter should be written something like.

Your letter has lain 14 days in a box and found no response. If you get it all the more important for you, then simply reply to this automated reply and it will be placed in the priority queue.

A second filter to make the word "lay 14 days in a box" and mark it as important and reply to it as soon as possible.

Such se se natural selection for the post :)
